The Commission for Consumer Protection rejected on Wednesday ( 18 ) Bill 5173/13 by Mr Sergio Zveiter ( PSD - RJ ) , which limits the total capacity of consumer debt to 30 % of your monthly income . The proposal amends the Consumer Protection Code ( Law 8.078/90 ) .
By the text , the monthly installments of debts resulting from renegotiation should also fulfill the limit . The text also provides that consumers who submit false information to circumvent the restriction criminally liable .
Rapporteur on the committee , Rep. Paul Wagner ( PV - RN ) rendered an opinion by rejection. He argues that offering credit indiscriminately and without criteria does not seem to be of interest to providers, since the default is a result that does not interest them .
